i should have known that waking up at past 6 when i was planning for 430am was a sign. sometimes you just know that the day is going to be one of those "not so good" days. while rushing to take a bath, i realized i must have programmed my mobile alarm to 430am but did not activate it - strike one. i rushed to honda makati to meet my 7am appointment and when i got there, i couldn't see my plate number from the appointment list. i double checked my text appointment and i mistakenly made an appointment for jan 8 (tuesday) instead - strike two. i checked if they will be able to accommodate me since i was there already and after some haggling, they said they can finish by around 4pm. ok, its only 715am by this time. it was going to be a long day and i was thinking whether it would be wise to commute going home and then just come back. i decided to stay and walked to shell magallanes where there was free internet. luckily, i was able to sign in to the office and finish some important emails. it wasn't bad hanging out at the cafe of the gas station, the only downside to it is i think i've shortened my life from all the carbon monoxide i've absorbed. and definitely all the black ashlike emissions that stuck on my poor skin. maybe because i wasn't thinking about it that much that i managed to avoid a strike 3. i did manage to get through the day, even managed to get a foot scrub to waste time a bit. the whole service thing did not finish by 4pm (like always) and they keeping me updated through text was too much to hope for. i got out around 530pm with a P14K bill. pretty steep for that much trouble. keeping a car, maintaining it is big money drain. if public transportation was very efficient in manila, i'd join the thousands of commuters. i'll probably be able to use my ipod more and i'd get some free exercise.
